Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical devices and relates to a disposable radiofrequency probe for gynecological treatment. Background Technique

[0002] Radiofrequency technology has been widely used in the medical field, especially in cosmetic treatments such as skin tightening and wrinkle removal. The radiofrequency energy promotes the regeneration of collagen in tissues through the generated thermal effect, thereby achieving the treatment purpose. In recent years, radiofrequency technology has also been gradually introduced into gynecological treatment, especially showing good application prospects in the treatment of Vaginal Relaxation Syndrome (VRS) and mild urinary incontinence.

[0003] Traditional intravaginal treatment devices are mostly based on mechanical, laser or ultrasonic technologies. Although these methods can improve the elasticity of the vaginal wall and reduce the degree of relaxation, there are still some deficiencies in the comfort of treatment, the durability of the curative effect, and the safety of treatment. Mechanical methods usually rely on physical dilation, which may cause discomfort or pain; although laser technology is effective, due to its photothermal effect, there is a risk of tissue burns; although ultrasonic technology is non-invasive, the treatment effect often needs to be manifested through multiple treatments, and the treatment effect varies greatly among individuals.

[0004] Radiofrequency technology is considered an ideal intravaginal treatment method because it can penetrate deep into the subcutaneous tissue and trigger deep biological effects. However, the current radiofrequency devices used for intravaginal treatment on the market still have certain limitations. For example, the radiofrequency treatment probe is a whole, and it needs to be cleaned and disinfected after each use, which is troublesome and unhygienic; the probe design is not optimized enough to reach a comfortable treatment depth, resulting in poor treatment effects, and professional personnel are required to adjust the treatment depth according to work experience, which limits the convenience of treatment; due to the design layout of circuit components in the radiofrequency treatment probe, the structure of the whole probe is thick and large, affecting the comfort of treatment.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of intravaginal radiofrequency treatment probe, which can improve the comfort and safety of treatment while ensuring the treatment effect, so as to improve the deficiencies of the existing technology. Content of the Utility Model

The phrase appears in various places in the specification and does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. Those skilled in the art will explicitly and implicitly understand that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0026] To achieve the above object, an embodiment of the present utility model provides a disposable radio frequency probe for gynecological treatment. Refer to Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes a probe body 1 and a handle body 2 detachably plugged into the probe body 1. The probe body 1 includes a rod body, a probe assembly 3, a flexible cable 4, and a PCB micro-board 5 disposed inside the rod body. The PCB micro-board 5 is electrically connected to the probe assembly 3 through the flexible cable 4, and the probe assembly 3 is used to release radio frequency electromagnetic wave energy.

[0027] The radio frequency probe in this embodiment overcomes the deficiencies of the traditional overall use, such as unhygienic disinfection and thick structure. It is improved and designed to be composed of a probe body 1 and a handle body 2. The probe body 1 is a single-use item, and the probe body 1 is electrically connected to the handle body 2 in a detachable plug-in manner. After each use, only the probe body 1 needs to be removed and discarded, while the non-contact handle body 2 is reserved for the next use. In this way, the radio frequency treatment operation can be completed simply and efficiently without the need for disinfection and hygienic cleaning before and after each use, avoiding the risk of cross-infection and ensuring the safety of user use.

[0028] Furthermore, the outer shape structure of the probe includes a probe installation part 6 at the front, a slender through-tube part 7 in the middle, and a cavity connection part 8 with a circular shape at the tail. The slender through-tube part 7 is integrally connected to the probe installation part 6 and the cavity connection part 8. The probe assembly 3 is installed inside the probe installation part 6, the flexible cable 4 is threaded through the slender through-tube part 7, and the PCB micro-board 5 is installed inside the cavity connection part 8.

[0029] To better adapt to the comfort of treatment, the outer shape structure of the probe is improved in the longitudinal direction. In sequence from front to back, there are a probe installation part 6, a slender through-tube part 7, and a cavity connection part 8. Among them, the probe installation part 6 is for installing the probe assembly 3, which can release a certain amount of radio frequency electromagnetic wave energy; the cavity connection part 8 is in a circular shape to meet the requirements of the structural design and adapt and transition to the shape of the handle body 2. In this way, a certain space is formed inside the cavity connection part 8, and the probe installation part 6 and the cavity connection part 8 are connected and transitioned through the slender through-tube part 7, so that the entire probe forms a slender tubular structure, with a length that meets the needs of ergonomics and also conforms to the needs of the radio frequency structure. Only the flexible cable 4 is threaded through the slender through-tube part 7, and both ends are respectively connected to the probe assembly 3 and the PCB micro-board 5 to form a conduction path.

[0030] It should be noted that the probe is a long strip as a whole in the rectangle. The probe head mounting part 6, the slender through pipe part 7 and the cavity connecting part 8 are different parts of the structure, rather than the connection combination of these three parts in the long direction.

[0031] Among them, the probe includes a left probe shell 13 and a right probe shell 12. The left probe shell 13 and the right probe shell 12 are seamlessly and fixedly connected by ultrasonic welding. The outer surface of the structure has a smooth transition, without burrs and unevenness, and will not cause harm and influence to the soft tissues in the vagina during the process of going in or out. Anti-fooling guiding grooves 14 are provided on the inner sides of the ends of the left probe shell 13 and the right probe shell 12.

[0032] Furthermore, the probe assembly 3 includes an FPC electrode 9 in the shape of a sheet for radio frequency and an auxiliary assembly block 10. The FPC electrode 9 with a radio frequency end face is wrapped outside the auxiliary assembly block 10. The FPC electrode 9 is electrically connected to the flexible cable 4.

[0033] The FPC electrode 9 (Flexible Printed Circuit electrode) refers to an electrode made by using flexible printed circuit technology. This kind of electrode has the characteristics of flexibility, thinness and bendability, and is widely used in various electronic devices that require flexible connection and installation. The FPC electrode 9 uses a flexible material (such as polyimide or polyester) as the base material, enabling it to easily adapt to various curved surfaces or irregular surfaces.

[0034] Furthermore, the handle body 2 includes a handle shell 15. An installation frame 16 is fixedly arranged inside the handle shell 15. A front end cover 17 is sleeved on the front end face of the handle shell 15. A main control board 18 is arranged on the installation frame 16. A key 19 is arranged on one side of the handle shell 15. The main control board 18 is electrically connected to the key 19. In this way, most of the main control electronic components are installed and designed inside the handle body 2, reducing the space requirement for the probe body 1 and greatly meeting the use requirements. Of course, the main control board 18 can be connected to an external power supply through an electric wire.

[0035] Furthermore, a pin header 11 is provided at an eccentric position in the middle of the cavity connecting part 8. The pin header 11 is electrically connected to the PCB micro-board 5. A female pin header 20 is provided at an eccentric position in the middle of the front end cover 17. Anti-fooling guiding protrusions 21 are provided at both inner ends of the front end cover 17. The anti-fooling guiding protrusions 21 correspond to the anti-fooling guiding grooves 14. The female pin header 20 corresponds to the pin header 11 and is detachably inserted.

[0036] In this embodiment, the pin header 11 uses 8PIN pins, and the corresponding female header 20 also uses 8PIN holes. During use, only the end of the cavity connection part 8 of the probe body 1 needs to be sleeved and inserted into the front cover 17 of the handle body 2, so that the pin header 11 is correspondingly inserted into the female header 20 to form an electrically conductive connection, and the main control board 18 is used to control the radio frequency electromagnetic wave output energy of the FPC electrode 9.

[0037] Furthermore, a plurality of scale lines 22 arranged at intervals are provided on the surface of the slender through-tube part 7 of the left probe housing 13. In this way, when the FPC electrode 9 enters the vagina, the depth of the FPC electrode 9 entering the vagina can be judged by using the scale lines 22 on the surface of the slender through-tube part 7, so as to facilitate the observation and use of the operation, and avoid the problem of poor treatment effect caused by excessive insertion or too shallow insertion.

[0038] In summary, the present utility model provides a disposable radio frequency probe for gynecological treatment. The detachable and disposable probe body 1 is adopted, and it can be used directly after replacement, which is clean and hygienic; the scale lines 22 are used to assist in referring to and adjusting the treatment depth of the probe, improving the treatment effect and convenience; only two parts, namely the probe mounting part 6 and the slender through-tube part 7, of the entire probe body 1 need to enter the vagina deeply, avoiding the traditional thick design structure, and greatly improving the comfort of the treatment.

[0039] The technical principle of the present utility model has been described above in combination with specific embodiments, which are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. The protection scope of the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Any technical solutions falling within the idea of the present utility model belong to the protection scope of the present utility model.
